It's also available in a contemporary women's fit and comes in seven colors.

Elbeco

Elbeco's TekTwill BDU Trousers are designed to withstand the daily demands that come with being a first responder, without limiting movement.

Horace Small

The Horace Small Special Ops Cargo Pant is one of the toughest pants on the market today.

Magnum's RD Tactical Utility Pants provide a more athletic fit and feel that enhances speed and agility - hence, rapid deployment.
